Sawyer Mini Filter

The Sawyer Mini is an excellent lightweight, compact, and reliable solution for filtering water at a very reasonable price. A $25 investment can help reduce the need to pack in all of your water and subsequently lower the weight of your pack. I bought my Mini Squeeze to reduce my pack weight and volume compare to my MSR Miniworks. While I really like the MSR and its ability to pump out of puddles and such, its 16 ounces and size can eat up a lot of space in a small pack. The MSR pump can also be… Full review

LifeSaver Systems LifeSaver Bottle

Well, I bought this item with some excitement thinking this was my answer to using chemical tablets and boiling. Was I wrong. I read all the positive reviews and watched the videos and thought this was my answer to hiking in the wilds and minimizing weight. When I got the item I followed the instructions to the letter primed etc and noticed small deposits of carbon from the filter passing and settling at the bottom of a test glass, but put this down to it being new. Went away for the weekend and… Full review

Sawyer Mini Filter

Best for solo use. Can easily be used as an online filter on a Camelbak type system, although drinking then requires more effort. The Sawyer Mini is my first water purification system, although I have used and seen many others that fellow hikers have had. The Sawyer Mini is a great device that can be used at base camp for filling water bottles or attached to a large water bladder for community use. I had first tried this out as an in-line filter on my Camelbak, but quickly found out that did not… Full review

Sawyer Mini Filter

Very lightweight, small to pack, and best of all very low effort required to replenish your water supply. Low maintenance and low effort are a must while backpacking. Filter performs as advertised. Water quality was never an issue, filter backflow was very easy to do. I downsized from the full size Sawyer filter to the Mini to save space more than anything else and had same level of satisfaction. Have used other pump style filters and find this much easier and faster. Refill time on a liter of… Full review

CamelBak Groove

A wonderful product to help you go Green and reduce the carbon footprint. Great for brisk walking, urban hiking, and shorter day hikes. Would highly recommend it for everyone to help reduce the purchase of bottled water. I have also read many on-line reviews that you can take it empty with you through the TSA checkpoint and refill it once you pass through the checkpoint and avoid getting ripped off by over-priced concessionaires at the airport. I was fortunate enough to be a winner of the Camelbak… Full review

Sawyer Mini Filter

I like the ease of filtering and drinking. Never thought I would use a filter. Expensive, bulky, and subject to clogging, at least this is what I thought. I have been reading the blogs of a couple of AT thru hikers and the Sawyer Mini seemed to be a standard issue item. When I reordered chlorine dioxide drops I bought one of these to try. It was real nice being able to drink water at every wet spot and stream. My son and I carried used soda bottles and would fill them at a stream or small trickle… Full review

LifeSaver Systems LifeSaver Bottle

I received my bottle yesterday and I read the instructions and primed it. The bottle works very well. It doesn't explode or choke your kids and you won't void the warranty by filling it with orange juice — provided you RTFM!
Great product, somewhat expensive investment, but I guess you have to pay for the technology. Read the instruction manual and it will work for you. I have not field tested the bottle yet, so no comment on practical use. Full review

The Sawyer filter is a great option for filtering water for many lifestyles. Whether you are a worried about the water you drink everyday, or just an avid hiker/backpacker/adventurer who needs an affordable, reliable, and reliable solution for clean drinking water, the Sawyer Mini Filter is for you. For about 20$, you can filter up to 100,000 gallons of water! I have one in my backpack, and my car. I use mine all the time for camping trips, and I highly recommend it to friends. The Sawyer filter… Full review

Sawyer Mini Filter

A viable option to lighten your load. Solo hikers will enjoy the convenience and protection this filter provides. The Sawyer Mini is probably the most viable filter option out there for the solo hiker. I use my filter in an "inline" configuration. I have used this filter on three overnight trips and one (4-day) multi-day trip. The Pros: This filter has not yet completely clogged. I am still able to get filtered flow from it. The filter is compact enough to thread through my hydration port on… Full review
